So, i am moving with my mom and brother and sister to my aunts house temporarily . my aunt has 2 sons 14 and 16. My dream highschool was to go to the one in my hometown (where i live ). If my mom goes to stay with my aunt temporairly i would have to switch schools . Which i dont want to do ,and meanwhile my couisns will be going there . Also , My highschool had a camp that i attended all 3 days . My mom gassed my head up acting like i was going just to say no . Why we are moving is not her fault .My aunt told my mom i can stay with her cuz she lives over here and my mom said no because i need to stay with my younger sister .Im all honesty i would like to stay here . I dont want to go..school starts in 12 days and i need to convince my mom right away .

So my dad I don't see him, my mom is working on my birthday and my nana has to babysit my cousins. Btw I live and was raised by my grandmother. I understand my mom has to work, but my birthday is early next month and my grandmother has plenty of time to say to my aunt that she can't baby sit. She says she's the only one who can do it but my cousins are ten and thirteen I believe, and they have an older brother who's 18 or 18 so he is capable of baby sitting, and they have another grand mother as well. I'm homeschooled so I don't have friends to hang out with, is it wrong of me to ask my grand mother cancel on them for me? Because believe me, they can find another baby sitter quite easily. And she has about two-three weeks to find another sitter. Also my cousins and I do NOT get along at all, so them coming with me isn't an option, they're honestly really rude and mis behaved, and unpleasant children?

Every single day, i get constantly yelled at about everything by my "mom". She is a very angry person. I can tell her something like "I got a 98 in math today", and she gets so nasty and rude. I dont care whether she is upset with her life, but its extremely hard when she is taking her anger out on me. Its wrong. I am Bi Polar two and have depression that comes in waves, my mother knows it yet still treats me like its completely okay to treat her daughter like crap. I dont ever yell back, i cant beacuse i will get too heated. I went to get job applications this morning, i was gone for an hour. My mom got home from work and said "where were you all morning". I said what i was doing. Her tone proved she thought i was lying. She never beleives anything i say, i havent given her a reason to not believe me. She started yelling as soon as she came through the door. There is nothing wrong witg me as a child, she has no reason to yell every single day . Its so bad that i want to go back to school sometimes just to get away. Is there something wrong with me ? Am i not good enough of a child? Im 16 btw

So a couple of months ago my aunt asked me to personally help her quit smoking. I helped her finally quit smoking (she has been smoking since the 90s.) Fast forward to today and I come home to see her smoking. I felt upset cause she had promised me that she would quit smoking, cause I helped her quit smoking, and I took time from my life to help her. Do most people who quit smoking go back to smoking? Am I overeating?

I'm a 14 year old autistic girl and I have two brothers who are 8 and 11. She didn't let me ride the public bus until this summer (and its only because she's too busy to drive 3 kids to swimming lessons). I started high school in grade 8 (I'm in Canada so I say it that way) and back then my mom was super worried about me going off with strangers or being at a school with guys as old as 18 when I was only 13. She worries if I even go out somewhere without her, and when I went to a school dance in grade 8 she even wanted to go inside and see what it's like except the securities didn't allow any parents in so she couldn't. If my brothers get out of her sight, she doesn't even worry as much! She also taught me about puberty more at 11 but now that my brother is that age, she doesn't seem to pay attention as much anymore. I'm not allowed to dye my hair, wear revealing clothes, or wear makeup. I'm Chinese and whenever I go to someone's house, she wants to meet their parents first and the person has to be a girl. She warns me to never go to a boy's house, no dating until I graduate high school (16 isn't an important age in China), must tell her if I go somewhere, and repeats the same things over and over. She doesn't do that to my brothers as much, just me. Is it because I'm autistic?

My mom and dads relationship was always rocky. My mom used to be a drunk and my dad is bad with money. They got married two weeks of knowing eachother. They have been together for 28 years. My dad left to make more money for my mom and the family so she can move to a house. My mom found out they he was watching porn (looking through his email. She Had a bad pass with men so she always had a problem with trust) she said he can never come home. He became sad and lost he job because he never can to work. Now he is driving a big truck and paying bills for the apt he is not allowed in. (The was a guy already living there but got kicked out for the same reason) mymom started talking to a guy that is now giving her money and she I s hard core flirting (meet up with him at a hotel but he offered going out with my siblings to get to know them) I m stuck with I want to make my mom happy but she is being so unfair to my dad who is working for her and the place she lives in . Me not saying anything and her braging hurts me and all I want to do is cry. Idk what to think or do (I m 19 in college) all he did was watch porn and she preaches all the time "cheating is wrong!" "Nudity is wrong!" She is so two faced she also get so mad when my dad dosent give her money for other things....... Help....plz... I lobe them both so much....

The phone I have right now is slowly falling apart (iPhone 4s). I want to upgrade to an android this year, but my parents have always said no to getting an android. In addition, they want me to buy another older iphone instead of allowing me to but a new one. (again, with my own money). Do any of you have advice on how I can convince them otherwise? Thanks

about a few months ago a dear friend of my grandpa's died from a terminal illness when he was in his early 80s and he was an amazing man. I've met this older couple before her husband was diagnosed with the illness thru my grandparents. I didn't know the couple that well but have met them at a restaurant for special gathering and my grandma's funeral. Anyway this older man that died, I noticed that his wife uses Facebook, Ive sent her a friend request about a month after her husband died. Understandably she was struggling w/the loss (think she still is?), i waited for her to respond. Well, she declined my request and she friended a close friend who is also friends with my grandpa, who I also know. They all have been friends for a long time when grandpa and the two other guys worked together at a phone company yrs ago, one of the guys being the one that died. After the episode of her not accepting my request, she friended this other gal who I also know, she didn't send me a note or anything. I think she friended this other gal for me to come see her page (her friends list), to tell me this is who I need to contact about her status? I think that was her grief speaking out and she wanted me to contact someone else. I know this lady she's really nice, I don't think she did it to hurt me. I don't think she would do that to anyone. All I heard from one of their friends and grandpa was that she has one of her daughters is staying with her at this time. What was her purpose? Do you think I answered my own question? I think i might of taken it personal when she did not accept my friend request and that she seemed like she was trying to friend someone else over me? That's how I really felt.

I'm 14 and my older brother is 16 and my parents always seem to favour my older brother. They always seem to buy everything he needs and even buy the stuff he doesn't need. Of course I would ask for things I would need for school such as new school shoes Blazers etc but there's always an excuse about financial problems such as they have wasted money on us but when my brother is asking for something he seems to get it at big costs.I'm grateful for what I have now but the grateful things I have now is ripping apart. they want my brother to be a successful person when he's older but where's all the hard work they put in him for me? They're so confident talking about him to everyone and how much he means to them but I never get the praise he does and I've also realised my other relatives favour him too sometimes I get depressed emotionally and I don't want to be depressed all I really want is to be treated well and have a good life like most teens but every time I confront them about favouritism they refuse to admit it. I just want the same love my brother gets too. I just recently lost my dog who always stayed by me because it was the only thing that has truly showed love to me. Could anyone give me advice on what to do? Thanks

I am 18. I live in a one bedroom house with my sister, my mom, and my stepdad. The living trim is my sister and I s room. We all make it work! Lol. Everything is great!! My friend has an extra bedroom open that I can move into. I ve never moved out from my parents place. (Obviously) Also, my mom is super attached to me. Which I don t mind. My sister and my step dad kinda drive her crazy. Lol They are messy and don t really clean up after themselves. My mom is also a part of the mess but she doesn t want to believe it. I am a pretty clean person. My side of the room is super organized and tidy and my sister s is trashed. I ve asked numerous times for everyone to rinse their dishes out after they eat so it makes it easier on me when I do the dishes. No one does it. Except for my stepdad. He washes all his dishes, which I love! Haha. I m having problems with moving out because I don t want my mom to be driven completely crazy without me there for her to vent to. My mom and my sister vent to me about each other. I am a glass half full kind of person so hearing all this negativity all the time is driving me bonkers! Lol. I would be pretty isolated at my friends house so I wouldn t have much interaction with the people that live there. I need help on feeling okay with this.. Lol I know that is a huge story and whatnot but this is where I m venting. Haha!!!

It makes me not want to be around my mother even if she was innocent in the divorce like she claims.

My boyfriend of 4 years did not get my daughter a birthday gift nor did he call or text her on her birthday. She doesn't live with us and she turned 20, am I wrong to be upset about that? Im not greedy no way its just the thought would have been nice that he thought of my daughter

She also makes me lie for her about him

She was 7, her sister was 3. They were playing dress up in their bedroom and the 7 year old touched her between the legs (no insertion of fingers or anything). The 3 year old came out of the bedroom and told us what happened. 9 years later I filed for divorce from the 3 year olds father and he brings up what had happened so long ago to the authorities. Now my daughter is in foster care and the court ordered her to never have contact with her sister. I just don t understand how they can keep siblings away from each other when it happened so long ago. The miss each other ALOT! My 16 year old even calls me crying because she s so depressed. I m wondering if I could take it back to court and fight it.

Shes 15 and is a BRAT. i feel like it's driving a wedge between my marriage. I've known her since she was 8 and she used to be extremely shy and quiet..but how she's like a demon! I feel this negative energy as soon as she walks in the front door. When I'm alone I can do whatever I want and don't have to constantly ask her if she wants to come grocery shopping or whatever with me but when she's here, my husband always makes her do things with me and I hate it! I know its wrong but I've accepted these feelings. Every once a while my husband with take her out to eat with him and they go w/o me! They even went to a movie once together and he didn't even think to ask me if my 2 other kids and I wanted to go. I yelled at them both for it after and he actually yelled back at me in FRONT of her! I hate her so much it's like she's making us both miserable. Then sometimes she wants to stay at her moms and not come over here and it makes me feel like a horrible step mom and I'm not because I get things for her too... Like groceries she wants and stuff. It's like she doesn't want to be around me and I don't know why! I've never done anything to her and then when she doesn't want to come over, my husband gets upset and sometimes is in a bad mood the rest of the day! It hurts me a lot because I feel like a shitty parent! So why doesn't she just come over when she's supposed to? I've had to go through a lot to be with my husband and it seems that she only makes it worse. What should I do?

Im 18, and I was basically raised by my grandma because my mom worked her *** off everyday and was never home throughtout my childhood. So ever since I can remember, I was never close to my mom. She and my dad divorced when I was 3, so Im not close to either of my parents. Throughout the years she would hit my older sister and was really mean to her in general, my older sister always had really bad anger issues and resentment towards my mom. She moved out last year and has been staying away ever since. Me and my mom were never close but we were okay. then I turned 18 and now she takes everything I say personally and always seems to try to ruin my plans in some way. I wanted to go to Europe and after an argument, she tried to sabotage my passport application by stealing my birth certificate and my ID for days until the deadline(ended up getting my dad involved and he helped me). Then I just started college, and we got into another argument and shes now refusing to buy my medication ( I finished it all and it needs to be refilled) and made it impossible for me to go to school ( she was taking me because I dont have a license) and So I ended up missing class. She also is gonna cancel my appointment with our family therapist and refuses to pay, all because of this argument that we had, She never allows me to apologize if I do anything and will never try to resolve any issues we have until I come to her and beg for forgiveness. Also, she takes what I say and over-exaggerates it in Spanish to my grandma (who doesnt speak english) to make me look bad and my grandma usually ends up taking her side because of it!I really dont know what to do anymore

I'm 16. I had a bad dream and I was really scared, so I broke into my mom's room and found my dad lay naked in bed. My mom said oh my gosh and I immediately turned the lights off. I am sooooooo upset now I didn't expect this to happen.....what do I do next....

Hi, Im 17, male, and i never had my own room, i live with my dad,grandma and granpa in a house, my parents are divorced, The house is strange, there are 4 rooms but 2 on one side and 2 on the other, between is a kitchen and terrace. On one side im there with my dad on the other are my grandparents,the thing is that i sleep in the same room as my dad, it annoys me now when im older but yes we have 2 rooms on our "side" , one is living room other is where we sleep, now when i have girlfriends i can't have any privacy with them, not only that me myself don't have privacy, even if im in the room next where my father is the sound goes there and he can here everything.. so i got absolutely no privacy, it annoys me, i cant take it anymroe

Like if one sibling finds someone attractive, does the other sibling view that person similarly?

I am a 16 year old male, 5' 8" and I have never had an issue with my weight. My parents split up years ago, and me and my 12 year old brother have lived with my dad for the past 5 years. About 6 months ago, my dad got remarried, and The new lady he married is very nice. She also has a son who is 8, so we moved to a new and bigger house. Her son had a ps4 so we mostly play that everyday. My dad is always working, so his new wife usually feeds us. When that first moved in with us she would always comment about how thin we were, and how we were so underweight. So she has been getting all of us pizzas and other foods, so that we would put on some weight. I really didn't pay much attention to it, and I do enjoy pizza so I disregarded it. Also she's been fixing us milkshakes everyday, and they are delicious. Recently I have been noticing that my clothes were tighter. I weighed myself and I've gone up to 170 lbs. I've put on 30 lbs since they moved in. I've also noticed that my brother is fat now too. I don't want to hurt her feelings, but when I told her I didn't want her shake today, she said that she made it just for and it would hurt her feelings. The guys don't wear shirts at our house, and the other day she told me she was so happy to see me finally getting some meat on my bones. My belly is big, and my chest is starting to sag. I don't want to be a fat guy, but idk what to do. My dad doesn't seem to care about it. I just don't want to be a fat kid. What should I do?

I've been married to my wife for 15 years now we have 4 kids together youngest being 3 oldest being 12 I'm blessed to have a wonderful family. So I try my best to balance work and family. It was just my wife and me having a cuddling and kissing. The 2 youngest came wanted to play so I did, after playing she was upset that I'm never just relaxing with her always ignoring her and the only times she can have me is when we have sex. I understand how she feels but I want to be there for my kids. When I was young my dad was never there for me or my siblings and never told us he loved us plus he's cheated on my mum. He's passed away. I replaced him, became a older brother and a dad to my siblings and our mom was always there for us till she passed away when I was 25 due to stress. I want to be there for my kids, love them and never abandon them. I don't want to be like my father.

I work from home as a translator and transcriptionist on the site Upwork. Because I stay at home on a computer instead of physically leaving the house to make money, my parents--especially my dad--don't seem to think I do any real work and are constantly making comments about how I'm always "cooped up in my room" and "ignoring the family" and similar things during my working hours. My dad's the worst because he hates the internet and thinks it's a waste of time. He doesn't understand that my job -- on the INTERNET -- is what's making money and helping pay for groceries for all of us. He seems to think I'm lazing around on social media or something all day. I've even had to pointedly correct him a couple times in the past when he told his buddies that I was "still looking around" for a job, when in fact I work full time. Both myself and my mother have tried to explain to him that my job is no different than if I left the house to go to an office or something, but he still doesn't seem to understand that I am WORKING during certain hours of the day. It really hurts when I spend an entire day busting my *** on an assignment and he acts like I've been lazing around the whole time. Has anyone else who works from home been in this situation? Is there something I can do to convince him that I take my job seriously and he should too? Thanks for any advice.

He always thinks he's right. He always blames someone for his mistake. I just broke our blinds in accident, but he said that I should open the blinds slowly, and yes I get that. But he never stops in telling me. He doesn't believe about the awards I get from school since I'm a shy kid. He was putting me down when I was losing weight. My dad is fat, and I am also fat. He doesn't want to work in a different country because he said that I'M the one who's just going to use his salary. If I was a mother, I would work in a different country just for my kids in the future to have a good life. He doesn't want me to be in a dorm in college because he said that I'll do drugs, but I already told him that I won't because I will NEVER do something that I know that can ruin my future. I know he's just protecting me, but I feel like he doesn't trust me at all. Why is he like that? Is it fine that I hate him for those reasons? Please answer my questions. Thank you!

So I recently started doing XC. Due to my mom's work schedules, she can't get me to where I need to be in the morning so the coach asked one of my team members who lived near me if he could help me get there. He said it wasn't a problem and has been helping me out. It's only until school starts which is in about a week and then my mom can take me because the schedule changes. Anyways, yesterday was the second time he couldn't come get me due to him, "Not being home". Sure, that's understandable, we all have our own things on our free time. But today when he couldn't come get me again due to the same excuse, I went there at 5:30 am because my mom dropped me off and went straight to work. I waited for 3 hours until my team arrived to start training. One of the guys asked me in a stern voice, "Why weren't you here yesterday". I said Mitch (Fake name) couldn't come get because he wasn't home. Apparently Mitch said I didn't want to go which is totally not true, I even proved it with the messages. Should I confront him on it and ask where he's really been when he's "not home" or is that not my business. I told my mom to give me money for the bus so I wouldn't miss any more days due to him not coming. I texted him telling him he didn't need to worry about coming to get me anymore and he asked me if I was sure about it. I said, "My mom doesn't want to inconvenience you to come get me". He told me it was no problem and that he's OK with it but then he does this? I'm so confused.

Ok. Heres one for you guys... I got this girl. Shes 22 years old and lives in rural south jersey with a large family and numerous animals. She has a high school diploma, but has never had a job or any kind of formal training or secondary education due to her remote location and controlling, neglectful parents. She wants to change her situation, (get the f out of that madhouse) however SHE HAS NO STATE ID OR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD. Her parents or older sister have purposely destroyed or hidden these documents from het in an effort to keep her from succeeding and moving on with a life independant from the forementioned madhouse. I know, crazy ****... She has been sheltered like ive never seen any human being before. SHE DOES NOT KNOW HER SS NUMBER OFFHAND. NOBODY EXCEPT ME IS WILLING TO HELP HER, and I LIVE IN FLORIDA! How do she go about getting these documents? Come to think of it, im not even sure if she has a birth certificate on hand!!! I told her she should talk to a police man. This is a crisis! Her family controls every aspect of her daily life. Please help!

My brother has autism and lately he was been extremely distrutive. He exploded the microwave (it went on fire and it broke) he spilled all the food. Knock all the glass and much more but then today he spilled shaving cream everywhere! And my mom got very mad and hit him with a belt . She told me that he wouldn't listen so she had to teach him with a belt and my brother can't talk since of his autism . He's 10 years old

There was a girl i called my sister. We werent really related but our parents went to high school togather so weve known eachother all of our lives. 25 years and a I had just decided to part ways with her for good. We were close very close, barely ever argued. We knew eachother in and out. 2 years ago i got into a relationship with someone who treats me better then i have ever. Idk if its related but she was happy for me. Then suddenly down the line she started to argue with me, out of nowhere. We argue and stop talking for months. Shed accuse me of trying to compete with her or trying to come for her. Everytime id tell her i dont see you that way. She had admitted to me the 1st time her insecurity about things got in the way. I told her to come to me if she ever feel that way again. But instead she didnt she started drama with me calling me out my name and acting like shebdidnt care for me. Specially she started hanging with some girls that were a bad influence ghetto and drama filled and always drinking n sleeping around. They encouraged her to act funny toward me as well. Even though she have no reason to feel anyway toward me she finds a reason too. I got tired of being her punching bag and trying to make her fill secure. So i decided that i didnt need the drama or fakeness in my life and i let her go. Suddenly her other friends are attacking me and my family (my daughter an BF) and i just had to cut her off completely. Have anyone been in similar situation.

alright so like I'm 14 my mom thinks I know everything and literally yesterday she told me to sync the phone to the gmail account she had and I did, and then literally the next day (today) she had her phone stolen while she was working. now shes crying and saying stuff like "I'm not paying your phone bill" and all that other stuff and she was crying or something over the phone lol I told her I tried to put the pictures and stuff. she expects me to know everything I don't know why she doesn't understand that I DONT know everything and like shes blaming everything on me like come on this is the 100th time you lost your phone while working at the same spot (she owns a salon) like really I told her a bunch of times to not leave her phone at open places and she obviously still hasn't learned

My mom wakes up at 5 am, goes to work (she works in construction, so she does hard labor all day), comes home at night, works on paperwork for her work, then goes to bed for 5-6 hours, and repeat. My dad owns a small business, but he is very unorganized, and sucks at managing money. His business expenses are surpassing his income, so he always borrows money from my mom for business trips, but never pays her back. He s not really a bad person, he s just very dis-organized and bad with money. I m 15 years old, I homeschool all day (I m trying to graduate early), so I don t have time to do house chores, my brother is a lazy POS, and my parents are gone all day every day (yes even weekends they work). So my mom always comes home to a messy house and it makes her really depressed. Yes, I could take some time off school and clean the house for her, and I probably will, but that s not enough. She is so overwhelmed with work, she only works half the year, so taking days off is a taboo in her workplace. She make lot s of money, but my dad goes on business trips frequently, and takes thousands at a time. My brother ran the wifi and phone data bill up to 700 and 800 dollars. She doesn t know if she ll be able to pay rent this month, and it s not even her fault, even though she LITERALLY never stops working. I want to help her, but I m just a 15 year old kid with no money. I need to do something big, but what? What she really needs is money to pay rent, but that s impossible. Help??

I'm 17. I just got a job last month after looking for YEARS and being rejected after 7 interview . So I was pretty happy to get my job. Currently I made $600, $650, maybe $700. I been working even when I do not feel well. Head hurting, back and feet. Nearly collapsed twice because of not eating and then going to work because I'm not used to it. I tried hiding my second check but she found it because she went snooping . She tried to find a check last week because she thought I got paid Friday instead of wed and she said it was her right to know how much I got paid. She also asked me for $50 but I thought she was kidding. Anyway today after some petty argument unrelated she calls me and tells me to put some clothes on because we're going to the bank the cash my check because she needs $60. After 5 minutes of arguing back and forth I tell her I'm not giving her 60. She said okay and then hangs up. She calls back me yelling I was going to give her the $60 so she could pay a bill. I asked her you paid the bills last month why can't you do the same this month. Anyway she tried to Guilt Trip me and told me the time she's been there for me, but i told her she was my parent and she should not have had me if she didn't want responsibility. Anyway after she got home and some more arguing she lets it go. I hid my money I been saving from my dad too for 8 months (200). The thing is that we're poor. I was planning on saving for college, pics, school supplies, driving lessons, etc. Plus, a lot of times, she gets mad at me and tells me that after I turn 18 that she's not going to do anything for me and that I have to leave, and if I didn't go away to college that it was my problem and that I should discuss it with my dad since he doesn't like her discussing putting me out. She basically creates a very strained environment at times in which I don't want to live in. I even had to get the idea of cc out of my head to save money because of the relationship. She's not abusive but she can be difficult at times. I am trying to save $7000 because she didn't save any money for college and a lot of the calculators I used estimated that I would pay $6000 for the first year. Also, she doesn't "pay" for food, unless we run out because we get food stamps. I actually have no idea what she's going to do after I turn 18 and my dad doesn't pay child support because she doesn't have a job and thinks she should be on disability because of her lupus even though she been denied. I just wanted to know if I was being petty. I'm just worried this would be a regular thing. Plus, my money could be going toward her debt because for some reason, she likes credit cards. I remember when she had a job she used to shop at places at fingerhut, so maybe that's why. I welcome opinions, even if you find I am wrong. So I SHOULD give her the money? I'm not trying to be selfish or bratty or anything, but I just feel like it's unfair to ask me for money when you know in a year and in senior year how much money I will be shelling out. I'm sorry, but I'm still shellshocked by tuition prices. Yes,I know $60 won't make a lot of difference, but still, I just feel like hoarding all my money. Not even sure about prom and homecoming. Probably being a bit dramatic, but have you seen those prices and the average debt? But, how much or what percentage should I give her? I wanted to buy a few things, but I was waiting to see how many hours they were going to give me during the school year. I suppose having that much money to keep was a good thing waiting to shatter...oh well. Thanks for all your honest answers. I eat, we have food. It's just that I don't eat regularly because of my schedule. I usually never eat breakfast unless I'm at school, so I would go to work, not eating anything and then stand and work for longer than I was used to, and yeah, I definitely learned my lesson the second time. Now I eat something every morning.

I'm a 15 year old girl and I've never really been close to her and I don't feel like I can tell her things or speak to her. Shes just always got an opinion on me and embarrasses me if I change anything about myself. I have a good relationship with my dad though. I just feel as if my mum prefers my little brother to me

I was in the massage room and the lady left so i can change back into my clothes, i was just wearing my underwear and just then i was putting on my bra not fully on im just holding my bra and im not covered at all my brither walks in and hes just talking how he needs to get his stuff like normally and he looks and stuff and then i said "you can go now!!"

My husband planned a birthday party for all three of our kids. Two are my step kids and one is ours. Their birthdays are June, August and September. That's not the issue. The issue is he planned the party and invited his whole family, without even mentioning having a party. To make things worse yet..his whole family has threatened me on multiple occasions...yet because his daughter wants a family party he invited all three of his sisters and his mom to our home. I had set down boundaries because 1- they have all threatened physical violence on me and 2- at least 2 of them have stolen from us at one point or another. I told him I am NOT ok with this at all. He treats me like the bad guy. How would you guys feel? I don't have a problem with him throwing a party...but he should hold it elsewhere then. It's supposed to be a beautiful weekend in terms of weather..but don't bring people to my home who have physically threatened me and stolen from us...and yes he had to step between his mom and me...ands well as two of his sisters because they literally tried to attack me....

My grandma is an alcoholic. Before I was born she was a horrible drunk. Abused my mom/aunts/uncles & she was raped many times while drunk. She still drinks a lot but never gets sloppy anymore. She has slowed down a lot since 1993. I'm 22 & we drink together every weekend. I see her everyday after work and when I see her I bring her a six pack each time. I do cut her off sometimes but she's an adult. My aunts/mom tell me to stop buying her drinks by I don't see any problem yet. She's healthy & she drinks in the home. I've only seen her pi$$y drunk once. I don't want any drama among my aunts. Should I stop buying her drinks/drinking with her?

The cousin is on my Dad's side of the family and my mother doesn't like it when I see my Dad since she divorced him. It is her birthday so she kind of has the power to hold me back and I am 16 so can't go on my own. I want to see my mother in the morning and go to the baptism in the afternoon but my mother has said no it is her birthday. How might I persuade her to let me go? She is always trying to use me to get my Dad back when she'd have no problem with me going if this was on her side of the family. My Dad won't even be there as he is out of town but my step-mother will who my mother resents and so punishes me.

So I get sexually assaulted by my uncle . Firstly I'm safe cause I'm old enough to defend myself but I need a solid proof to prove my family I'm not lying though I don't care but still . My younger sister is close with the uncle so that's my advantage . He lives in my home too. In the living room. Now it's easy to get his phone too and before he had took some inappropriate photos of me but deleted them but now I want to recover them. So can anyone teach me how ? It's a Sony Xperia Z3 . If you can then I'll tell you my full story.

So I'm 18 living in Canada and my whole life I have always done exactly what my father says. I'm Indian and in our culture, we produce a lot of beta type males because the way the parents raise the kids with a huge emphasis and grades and nothing more and constantly being cradled and being told when to get married. So I feel as if I have grown to be a bit of a door mat and I'm always seeking for approval because that is the way my dad raised me. I'd always show him the A's I would get in school but it was enough for him. Nothing ever was. He wants me to direct me in a certain direction when it comes to university, but I have other goals in life and I have other plans. I try explaining that to him but he shuns me, calls me names. And for some reason I can't stand up to him and tell him what descisions I want to make. I feel as if I will always be a wussy boy if I don't learn to stand up for myself and be firm. I'm afraid this behaviour will start showing up in other areas of my life like in the workplace, with women, and with my own children. My plan is not to rebel for the sake of rebellion, but to leave my fathers holding, and learn to be a man and take charge of my own life.

She said the council called her and asked her questions about her application and among the questions was "are you married" and she said yes she is married to God. I wasn't there at the time so I'm a bit concerned should I ring them and clarify if they wrote her down as being single or married? Because she is not married. I know this sounds weird but thanks.

I am a 14 year old girl and my mum and my two sisters are going to the cottage this weekend (1 1/2 hours away). My dad works from 9:00 am- 11:30 pm so I will not be sleeping alone. My mum was against it at first but than I convinced her. My dad says that I should go outside and be social but I really dont wanna go. I recently also told my parents that I do not want to travel anymore this year and I didnt go the yearly school camp. What should I do? My mums friend, also my olders sisters friends mum. are going so I will be alone. What do I do?

She literally locks him up in the garage when she's mad at him and doesn't let him eat or drink. Is there anything I should do to help?

My little sister has been watching the Destination America channel it has stuff about ghosts and scary stories on it. When she was a kid she use to be obsessed with ghosts and spirtis and death and haunted stuff but now that she's a little older it's kind of scaring her. They showed a skeleton on there the other night it freaked her out. Skeletons scare her the most. She saw a commercial for a new show on there a couple days ago she hasn't been able to sleep. The commercial showed a kid sleeping and having a shadow moving across not much younger than her in his bedroom and the ghost watching him while he slept. She's been leaving her tv on all week. She feels like a ghost is watching her in the corner of her room. She loves the movie Ghostbusters when she watches it she's not scared of the dark or anything but it hasn't been on much lately so she hasn't been able to sleep. She wishes the Ghostbusters were real so she can marry them and sleep with them and they can protect her and scare away ghosts. Now she thinks there's ghosts in her room. When she watches the channel she thinks ghosts are real she said it has stories about real people. She has a nightlight we have the hallway light on she keeps her tv on at night. I've been staying in her room with her all week. She told me to. How can I help her feel better ? She's 13

I'm a 16 year old girl, oldest child out of me and my 14 year old sister and my parents treat me like a child. Bareing in mind I'm going to college in a few weeks and I'm able to start driving lessons in a few months. - I always have to ask them inadvance if I can go out with friends. When I do they need an abnormal amount of details. If they aren't allowing me to go then it will be because of reasons such as "you'll be too tired" or "too late notice". They barely give me any freedom at all. - I'm not allowed to go in a taxi / be driven by my friend whom is 18 - I'm not allowed to have sleepovers at my house as they think I'm still an 8 year old girl who would invite like 4 friends and giggle all night. - They don't like me going out with my friends at all really as they just want me to spend time with them going on family outings. It's results day tomorrow and I just about got my mum to say I can go to a celebrations party tomorrow and I asked to go for a sleepover as well on Sunday (3 days after) but she said no as I'll be too tired from the party and she wants to take me out that day. They don't understand that I would rather spend time with my friends than them as it's normal for a teenager to. Plus they treat me like a child so I don't wanna be around them anyway. Just things like that and they are starting to really get to me now and I can't cope

Today i went out my two of my friends, one of which my mother doesn't like very much and thinks she is trashy. We got ice cream and sat at the park when all of a sudden a dog jumped in my lab and started to bark. I am very scared of dogs. My friends tried to push it away, then the owner came and took her dog. I started shaking, i felt like i was going to blackout. My friend (the one who my mother thinks is trashy) had calming down pills in her bag and she gave me one. It was some pill that my mother used to give to me as well. So i told the whole story to my mother when i came home because i was still scared (I have bad memories with dogs chasing me and i am very afraid). She started yelling, i told her the name of the pill (which she gave me once), now she is yelling at me, slamming the doors. She is very upset, i apologized a few times. The problem was not that i took the pill but that it was from that girl. I feel very guilty and my mother is still very upset, what should i do? I apologized numerous times, she told me that she isn't mad but continues to yell at me.

My husband's family brings up my husband's exes almost every time we visit them (we've been together for three years, and live about 2 hours away so visit them about once a month). It's nothing positive about them or to put me down, they usually say negative things (how bitchy they were, how crazy or spoiled they were) or stories involving them, and they tend to repeat the same stories. It's starting to get really old. Especially since we're married and not once have my friends or family brought up my exes out of respect for my husband (obviously!). My husband and I have talked openly about past relationships but for his family to constantly bring them up is starting to wear on me. I've told my husband how it's making me uncomfortable and his response is "they just don't know any better" and "it's not going to make a difference if I say something", which might be true. His family is a little ignorant and socially awkward. His mom says things that can be offensive, but to her she isn't meaning to be. They talk about my sister in-law's exes as well and I know her husband gets annoyed with it too.. So my question is how would you handle this situation? Should I press that my husband say something? Should I say something? What is a good response?

I love my mom and would do anything for her, but lately she has really started to annoy me. She has been spoiling my youngest sister and I know its pretty common for that to happen but its getting out of control to the point where my little sister is allowed to disrespect her. She would literally wake up in the morning ready to tell lies on me. For example I was putting away some cloths in my closet and my sister woke up and told my mom I woke her up and I got in trouble. She knows what shes doing because she would sneak sly comments like "mom likes me better". Another thing is, yesterday my mom asked her to put some cloths in the dryer and she didn't do it, so she made ME do it. But of course I had no problem with it, but my sister got mad at my mom and slammed the door on her while she was leaving the house to go over her friends even though she was "grounded" and ya know what my mom did? She bought her ICECREAM! I wanted to say what the hell is wrong with you? she was just saying all this bad stuff about you! she shut the door on your face, she doesn't do what you ask. She even lies on me constantly when shes bored. She told my mom I tried to beat her up and my mom believed her. My feelings were hurt because I thought she knew that no matter how angry my sister makes me I would never beat her. I don't know what to do I don't think I can deal with this, my mom needs to wake up cause shes making a spoiled brat.

I'm 16 and my parents divorced when I was 2. My mother lives in Alberta and my father lives in Maryland. I lived with my mother since they divorced until 2014 when I had become unsatisfied with my life there. My father offered me a better life with him and like an idiot I decided to move in with him. So far these last 2 years here have been filled with depression and stress. My father isn't very supportive and he is very harsh to me. He ignores my asks for help with my depression and refuses to let me talk to someone. I recently visited my mother thinking that would make me feel better, but it hasn't. I've come to the conclusion that I've had enough here in Maryland and that I want to move back in with my mother where I was happier. Now here's the part I need help with. First off my Canadian passport expires soon so I need to get that renewed. Secondly, my mother doesn't know I want to move back yet, but I've been told by numerous people that she does. and thirdly, my dad is very predictable and he will most likely lose his cool when he finds out and it could possibly lead to him refusing to take me to the airport or worse. I also need to find away to get all my stuff up to Alberta because I don't want to leave anything behind. All help would be great.

My daughter in law is a veteran from California. She came to stay with me in Chicago because she has no other home to go too, but she really wants to go back and find a place in Cali.Are there any resources here in Chicago that can help her get back on her feet so that she can travel back into a stable home of her own?

I am 14 (girl) and I don't have a very good relationship with my dad. I mean, he has moments where he is nice to me (very few), but he always ends up screaming at me, calling me an idiot and a liar, a psycho, saying he wouldn't care if i never spoke to him again which obviously hurts. While he lives with me, he is never home and never spends any time with me or takes me anywhere and knows nothing about me. He was never apart of my childhood, never helped raise me it was all my mum. He is basically a stranger living in my house. All this stuff hurts obviously, but it's what i have grown up with and i am used to being treated like that. I have a very severe social anxiety disorder and i am positive he has had something to do with it or has made it worse. I have such low self esteem because of him. He calls my mum names and treats her like crap but she never leaves him. He has never hit me which i am thankful for but that doesn't mean that what he is doing isn't affecting me. My relationship with him has gotten so much worse recently and that is probably due to the fact that i have started sanding up for myself and my mum. I just want to know if this is normal, if i am just being too sensitive or whatever...

October last year we were on our way to the town but she forgot her bank card she asked to borrow some of my money which I was fine with. I had about £50 birthday money and money I made myself, she borrowed £30 in December, she gave me £5 back of it. Trust me, she is not broke, she's not rich but she's doing very well. She also likes borrowing my clothes, I am fine with it but she never gives them backver. Btw we don't live together. She says she'll pay me to let her borrow stuff as a garuntee I'll get it back, said she'll give me £10 to borrow some of my stuff she wanted to wear. So I lent her them, this was about four months ago, I haven't received £10 and my clothing was returned ripped, and covered in stains (false tan, and it's not washing out) , I would lend her anything she wanted for free if I knew I would get it back in a good condition. Also she borrows money of me to go out and buy shoes and makeup and stuff, money I've earned myself or been given at Christmases or such. And of course I never get them back. She owes me roughly about £95-£120 now, and she says she doesn't have to give me any of it back because she gave me life and that was gift enough? I feel bad saying no to not lending her any because she's my mom, and she has her own money but she just hates spending her own. I have four pets and I have to buy their food and supplies in order to keep them so I kinda need the money. Is it wrong for her to not pay me back because I'm still a child, or should she?

We get home late and are tired from our day but he doesn't seem to understand. I really don't want him around . My son is 4 months.

They say I'm selfish and really rude, they owe me £150 of money from my birthday money (I'm 14 btw) they make me cry everyday by upsetting me and they always take away my electronics. I buy them stuff out of my own money and they still complain, they're really controlling and always expect me to be with them, they're too over-protective and they always shout even if I'm doing nothing wrong. What should I do?

So my mom and dad had me young and broke up when I was about two because he was kind of abusive. I fully understand my dad is a bad person, and he's on drugs now. When I was 12 I saw him for the first time since I was two, and since then I've seen him about three times. Last time I saw him was my birthday last year, and now it's my birthday again in 2 weeks. I kind of want to see my dad but until he gets in a better frame of mind I understand it's best I don't, however, I still want to see my brother and sister. They're my half brother and sister and he is the only way I can see them. Last time I saw them was 2014 I think, or maybe early 2015, and I miss them. I had my dads phone number and his Facebook, I deleted my Facebook due to it being boring, besides he never replied or was never online. I made a new account just to message him and he hasn't replied despite being online. I've sent him several texts but he hasn't replied to me since last November so I've given up on that. All I want to do is see my brother and sister sometimes, before they're too old to want to hang out with me? I've only met them maybe three-ish times and I'd like to get to know them better. Obviously I could wait until they're older, but chances are then they won't care as much as they may right now. They'll have their own lives and responsibilities then but right now they might find it fun to have a big sister. Is there any way I can see them?
